A bunch of VTOL/eVTOL and space startups also probably raised >100$ pre-launch I guess?

Skydio raised way more than 100 million and I'd call them success, although I'm not sure if they raised that much pre-launch.

We raised ~$60m before R1 launched in 2018. And we were still under 100 total when S2 launched at the end of 2019.

I'm not sure how things would have played out if we had 100m+ before we launched anything. We may have delayed launch even further and missed out on valuable market feedback and brand awareness.
